VERY RARE -- Off Road Capable

1985 Ford Econoline E-350 1 ton 4x4

EXTENDED LENGTH AMBULANCE

Collins truck body mfg. w/4" additional lift.

460 (7.5L) big block, heavy duty C-6 automatic, manual locking hubs, divorced transfer case, PS-PB, front & rear A/C

I purchased this ultra cool beast from an AZ mountain community fire department just north of Phoenix (ground pumice used on roads in winter --not salt -- pumice does not corrode metal). Original title is still in the name of the Fire Dept. and has been notarized for release and is ready to transfer to new owner.

All emergency FLASHING LIGHTS - SIRENS - HORNS - BUZZERS - PA SYSTEM - INTERIOR LIGHTS - EXTERIOR LIGHTS - KC FRONT SPOT LIGHTS - everything still connected and STILL WORKING GREAT.

Low miles--only 82,100.

Please see 4 wheel drive transfer case control and dual battery control on floor near driver. Battery controler switches from single to both batteries, or to complete disconnect. Batteries are 6 months old. Heavy duty alternator provides extra charging and running of all lights and equipment. No cracks in dash, NO RUST anywhere in body. Minor paint touch ups here and there but almost no body damage. Please see photos as I've tried to show any and all damage, but it is very hard to see (left front dent & grill chrome delamination at cowl, and rear step). Tires (35"x12.5x16's) are 50% tread at best. I think 37's would fit with no problem. Polished aluminum 16" faux bead lock rims are very nice.

Includes high lift jack and spare tire (see photos). Please note special area behind driver (lockable with key) for spare & high lift jack storage---this seems to confirm story from fire department that this was a special 4x4 only ambulance body equipped for high ground clearance, hence this conversion was performed prior to delivery to fire department when new. I have never seen another 4x4 Econoline set up like this. See letters section below.

Dual fuel tanks, and both tanks and sending units are operational with switch at dash.I added a tow hitch receiver under rear step but this is NOT directly attached to frame. The steps are frame mounted and this setup feels plenty secure, but I would use only for towing small lightweight motorcycle style trailers or similar.

FLAWS THAT I CAN SEE: I can hear an exhaust leak at one side manifold. Some oil drips at various places under motor. Broken plastic at passenger side above rear bench. Linoleum flooring beginning to wear out. Small rip in naugahyde backrest of bench seat in rear. Front driver seat material has a few splitting seams.

No ceiling water stains or any leaking evident from roof extension. This is a very clean and sano rig.

Please note that there is A LOT of interior storage: multiple and various cabinets (doors close tightly and do not rattle), underneath both rear bench and jump seats, and inside spare tire well behind driver. There are numerous interior high intensity lights in ceiling. Hi intensity exterior flood lights at front, rear, and both sides. Sliding interior door is a bit sticky, but all other doors operate smoothly and close tightly.

Interior & exterior power supplies are numerous. There appears to be some oxygen lines and valves still connected here and there, with gauges. Antenna for CB or two way radio still present on roof, with wires running to dash tucked in and out of sight.

This van drives very tight---excellent power and great brakes. Very tight steering too. No rattles inside when driving. This is a really good rig that's a blast to drive. You'll be the only kid on the block with one of these, that's for sure. This is a super cool old-school style 4x4 that's in remarkably good shape.

This would make a great 'bugg-out' van, off road or desert camper van, or mobile motorcycle repair? Still has most of the gurney mounts attached so due to it's low mileage this could still be used as an ambulance as well. There are endless opportunities for the creative mind. This thing is big and TALL. It's almost 9 feet to top of light bar so keep that in mind.

Please remember that this has always been an Arizona Fire Department operated and maintained truck. These guys keep on top of all maintenance issues, so it's safe to assume that this truck has always been well taken care of.

  

My auction rules are simple: PAYMENT via cash in person, personal check, cashiers check, bank wire transfer, etc. Truck does not leave my posession until all purchase funds have cleared my bank. NON-REFUNDABLE PAYPAL DEPOSIT ONLY of $250.00 and I will NOT accept payment of truck in full via Paypal. If deposit is not paid for within 4 days then I will file an unpaid item dispute through ebay, and if truck is not fully paid for within 8 days from end of auction buyer loses their right to the vehicle. I'm happy to make exceptions to these rules as long as we discuss first. So PLEASE, only bid and buy if you fully intend on FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH YOUR PURCHASE.

Jim Hackett says metal tariffs costing Ford $1 billion in profits

Wed, Sep 26 2018

Ford CEO Jim Hackett divulged in an interview with Bloomberg that the Trump administration's tariffs on metals imported from the European Union, Canada and Mexico have affected the automaker's balance sheet, adding that trade disputes need a quick resolution. "From Ford's perspective, the metals tariffs took about $1 billion in profit from us," Hackett told the outlet. "The irony is we source most of that in the U.S. today anyways. We're in a good place right now, but if it goes on longer there will be more damage." Hackett did not specify what period the $1 billion covered, but a Ford spokesman said the CEO was referring to internal forecasts at Ford for higher tariff-related costs in 2018 and 2019. President Trump in March announced his intention to enact 25 percent tariffs on steel imports and 10 percent on imported aluminum from the three trade zones as a way to protect the U.S. steel industry. The move sent U.S. automakers' stock prices plunging at a time when they were coming off weak monthly sales reports. Separately, President Trump has targeted China with two rounds of tariffs targeting a combined $260 billion worth of imports. China has responded by enacting 25-percent tariffs on U.S. goods including vehicle imports. In the interview, Hackett said that has hurt demand for Lincoln, which has found a growing market for its luxury vehicles in China, and made the price of the Lincoln MKC less attractive to Chinese buyers. The MKC is built at the company's Louisville, Ky. assembly plant. "We've had to move people in that factory to other operations because of that trade problem," he said. It's not clear what those moves entail or how many workers were involved. Autoblog sought comment from a Ford spokeswoman and will update this story if we hear back. Ford last month announced it was scrapping plans to import the Focus Active small crossover to the U.S. from China because of the new 25-percent tariffs on Chinese imports.

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
